<p>I would like to point out that having people on here evaluate your stats is about as useful as you evaluating them yourself, seeing as to how none of us are part of NYU’s admissions committee. </p>
<p>I always found the “chance me threads” to be kind of silly.</p>
<p>Donny what I recommend you doing is looking at the past threads for 09/08/07 and see what those peoples stats were that got accepted. It will take a little bit of time cause those are all 50+ page threads, but IMHO you will get a much better idea on where you stand.</p>
<p>Wish I had known that before I sent in my SAT’s…=/</p>
<p>Donny your stats are good. </p>
<p>I have read through all 60 some odd pages of the 09 thread…and NYU seems to accept and reject all kinds. Someone said they were excepted with a 3.2 and a 1500 out of 2400 SAT (yes hope!lol)…and I’ve heard people with a 4.0 have been rejected (seriously?)</p>
<p>Took your advice Chowder, gave them a call, glad I did it, it was a relief to know I wasnt missing anything.</p>
<p>It was a third party site so their opinions may have as much weight as ours, but on a scale of 1-4, lowest-highest priority I believe they were both a 2.</p>
<p>The website kind of contradicts itself with regard to the standardized test requirements. I called and spoke with one of the admissions counselors and was told that as a transfer student they are NOT required. </p>
<p>Kate- When did you submit your application/materials? you must have submitted them super duper early. I have a bad habit of procrastinating and I think I got everything to them around 10/29 or so… Whoops! </p>
<p>Judging by the way the past spring transfer threads went, we will most likely not be recieving our acceptance/rejection letters until about 12/14… Still a freaking month. Bleh!!
Oh well, we can all wait in agony together.</p>
<p>How many of you folks applied for on-campus housing?
I know I did but I heard from a friend that just graduated from NYU that it is somewhere around $1600/mo to SHARE a bedroom…</p>
<p>if anyone is interested (i don’t want to get people’s hopes up or torture them) i can elaborate on the transfer housing situation here at NYU, if you want.</p>
<p>i was a spring transfer, and they’re really disorganized with spring transfer stuff sometimes.</p>
<p>snoopyman - I applied to the College of Nursing.</p>
<p>Van Chowder - Yes, my application was in pretty early. I submitted most of the application materials by early September. I had some problems sending my HS transcripts, so that was the last part of my application to get in, and I had that sent out sometime in late September or early October.</p>
<p>missamericanpie - I would love to hear about the transfer housing situation. Where do you think I can realistically hope to get put in? Also, was it hard to make friends with the current NYU students as a spring transfer?</p>
<p>So basically, we’re like those people that they use at Six Flags to fill in the empty seats in the roller coaster cars.</p>
<p>Say there’s four people in a suite. One goes away to Ghana on study abroad for the spring. NYU loves money, so they will put a transfer student in that empty place so they can plug all the gaps in the rooms. Voila! A full room and a transfer student gets a spot.</p>
<p>Lafayette Street is in Chinatown, and I think it has the largest concentration of transfer students. The rooms vary wildly. I was lucky enough to get placed in a gigantic room when I transferred. My best friend got stuck with a crummy studio. We’re at the mercy of NYU until you get rotated into the housing lottery at the end of next semester. It’s in Chinatown. The area is a little sketchy because it’s near a police station, but the security guards are really vigilant. There’s a Starbucks and a Duane Reade two blocks away and you’re near Chinatown and Little Italy. I lived there for two years. There’s a game room and a study room and a practice piano. The RAs there run a lot of “transfer student” events so people get to know each other. If you rush Greek, the Greek frats/sororities own the top floor of the building. The NYU bus runs trolleys from Lafayette to campus very frequently. If you oversleep a lot, get acquainted with the subways. Luckily, you’re three blocks away from a major subway hub. I know a lot about this dorm, heh.</p>
<p>Greenwich Hotel is actually a working hotel on the first floor. It’s in the Village and about a 10/15 minute walk from campus. It’s a smaller dorm and I don’t really know much about it. At least you’re close to campus. </p>
<p>Avoid 26th Street at all costs. The rooms are crappy and you are far from campus. If you’re not the social kind, you might enjoy it, but most people hate being at 26th Street. There are actually rooms at 26th where the beds cannot be unbunked. </p>
<p>(Sorry, but what did NYU put as the last housing option this year? University HALL or University COURT?)</p>
<p>I know this is unfinished and rambling, but ask me any other questions you want.</p>
<p>Thanks so much for that description! Hopefully its not just getting our hopes up.
In general do you wish you had just gotten an apartment off campus? I mean with $1600/month you could get a studio in a Manhattan somewhere, even below Harlem I would assume.</p>
<p>a) I really don’t mind living in a dorm. I was a CC student so I NEVER lived in a dorm before NYU.
b) I’m a New Yorker, so living in an apartment wouldn’t really feel like the “college” experience to me.
c) It’s really convenient to live so close to campus and to be connected to the campus community.
d) I don’t have to worry about roach infestations. I don’t have to worry that my landlord won’t come if the heat is broken or if the toilet doesn’t work. I don’t have to feel sketched out coming back to my dorm late at night. I don’t have to worry about roommates who will steal things, or never getting my security deposit back.</p>
<p>If you’re coming from another state, I would at LEAST accept the housing for the spring semester. After that, if you want to live in an apartment, I would totally recommend it. Summer is a popular time for people to move in and out of apartments.</p>
